About the Author

Alexandru Vaduva is an embedded Linux software engineer whose main focus lies in the field of open source software. He has an inquiring mind and also believes that actions speak louder than words. He is a strong supporter of the idea that there is no need to reinvent the wheel, but there is always room for improvement. He has knowledge of C, Yocto, Linux, Bash, and Python, but he is also open to trying new things and testing new technologies.
Alexandru Vaduva has been a reviewer of the book Embedded Linux Development with Yocto Project, Packt Publishing, which is a great asset to the Yocto Project community.

About the Reviewer

Peter Ducai has 15 years of experience in the IT industry, including the fields of programming and OS administration. Currently, he works at HP as an automation engineer.
Alex Tereschenko is an avid Maker. He believes that computers can do a lot of good when they are interfaced with real-world objects (as opposed to just crunching data in a dusty corner). This drives him in his projects and is also the reason why embedded systems and the Internet of Things are the topics he enjoys the most.
